Commun Biol . 2023 Jul; 6(1):789. PMID: 37516746
Cholesterol is an essential membrane structural component and steroid hormone precursor, and is involved in numerous signaling processes. Astrocytes regulate brain cholesterol homeostasis and they supply cholesterol to the needs...

Cell Mol Life Sci . 2022 Apr; 79(4):220. PMID: 35368213
During angiogenesis, endothelial cells form protrusive sprouts and migrate towards the angiogenic stimulus. In this study, we investigate the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-anchored protein, Protrudin, in endothelial cell...

Dev Cell . 2015 Jun; 33(6):644-59. PMID: 26051541
Proper morphogenesis of neuronal dendritic spines is essential for the formation of functional synaptic networks. However, it is not known how spines are initiated. Here, we identify the inverse-BAR (I-BAR)...
